10.7.2 clean install: cannot login after sleep

so after getting bricked this morning, I have done a new clean install of Lion, updated to 10.7.2 and went to work. back I come, Mac is in sleep, and it does not accept my user password anymore.
just great.
no file vault on this time.
10.7.2. is pure nightmare for me so far.
force reboot let me boot again (and log-in!).

I have the exact same issue- any help on how to fix this would be great.
In the meantime - I have found a workaround which is a bit of a pain - but allows you to keep your session going.
1) When you come out of sleep and don't have the option to use the fingerprint login and the password doesn't work click on "switch user"
2) When that screen comes up click on the arrow next to the red (shutdown) button and select "hibernate".
3) After the machine hibernates resume windows by hitting any key
4) You should now be able to sign in using your account password and resume your session.
This is not ideal - but until someone can come up with a real fix - it works and allows you not to have to restart windows and lose your session data.

Failure: Cannot login after Lion 10.7.2 update

I cannot login after performming the update realeased today.
After boot, at the login screen, I see the user in the circles. Upon selecting a user, entering the password, the spinning circle below the Apple appears. It spins for a few mnutes, then return with a NOT symbol as the spinner contues to spin endlessly. After a while, the fan kicks into overdrive.
I tried to do the boot in recovery, start terminal, resetpassword, restart, login as root steps, but do not see an option to login as root upong restart - just the User circle icon.

I have a similar problem, but it looks like I have solved it.
I rebooted holding down ommand-R to get to the recovery-HD mode. From there I chose the options to re-install Lyon (requires internett access because it downloads a new copy).
Since I have multiple disks attached (the internal and a bootable backup drive) it asked which disk I wanted to use. When I chose the internal drive it told me it was locked and asked for the FileVault unlock code. After that things seemed to proceed properly.
I suspect that the problem is in some way tied to my use of FileVault.

How to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

how to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery -- mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)

Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery --> mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)
So if I hit the powerbutton my mbp booted like it is booting from the save sleep (so very fast and the login screen is there in about 10 sec.and there is no apple logo while booting just the desktop screen in "unsharp" ore foggy however...)
Then when i see the login (if the keyboard backlight turned on) i wand do tipe in my code but it won't work... the trackpad is not working; and when i plug-in a usb mouse the mbp is not powering on the usb-mouse (laser is off)
Why is that this way?
Is there n option to wake up the mbp fromm deep/save sleep without haveing issiues after that?

Sorry for such a long delayed response...
I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
Thank you!

Cannot login after snow leopard install

Hi
I have installed snow leopard onto my macbook pro, it worked ok after install and then after shutting down and restarting the next day I can no longer login. It says that there is a problem with filevault - "your home folder which is protected by filevault didn't open. it needs to be repaired. To repair folder continue log in." So I clicked ok and it says that "you are unable to login at this time because an error occurred"
Please can someone help!!! How do I log in and repair filevault?

To eject the disc - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50991
Once you eject the disc, gently clean it before reinserting it. Some dvd drives are very fussy about the media.

Cannot Login after installing Leopard

Hello,
I just installed Leopard, and after restarting I had the "blue screen" problem. I followed the instructions (removing the the "ApplicationEnhencer.bundle" file from the troubleshooting section on the Apple website), and after restarting, I was able to acces the login page.
After entering my personal password, I had the following message: "you have to restart you computer by pressing the start switch for several seconds".
The only thing I can do is to login via other users of this computer but I cannot access my own account anymore!
Can somebody help me?
Regards,
Lins.
P.S: here is the error report:

After clean install cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro

I recently had to do a clean install on my desktop computer. Is there some way I can print to pdf with my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, which was working fine prior to the clean install. I am aware Adobe no longer supports this version, but isn’t this program able to function without being updated? Want to print pdf files from websites and Microsoft office. Am running Windows 7 Ultimate OS.

Hi jadbe,
Windows 7 is not a tested platform for Acrobat 8.

Need to do a clean install of FF31 after bad sectors on HDD caused installed FF to crash Windows upon opening.

After running MRT update on Windows XP SP3, I rebooted my PC, and CHKDSK found and repaired four bad sectors on my HDD. After this, starting Firefox 31.0, even in Safe Mode, would cause Windows to freeze at the point the FF window appeared. No menus, no toolbars, just the window with the basic frame, but nothing inside it. All input devices were non-responsive, forcing me to do a hardware restart of my machine.
Upon restart, everything else worked fine until I tried to start FF - then the OS froze again.
Searching Firefox support, all answers I could find suggested deleting old (possibly corrupt) profile data with Profile Manager before reinstalling FF - but, if FF freezes the machine upon starting, there is no way to do that.
How do I MANUALLY delete all old profile data, other Firefox data files, and registry entries from my PC so that I can do a clean install of FF 31.0?
NOTE: The information given about my browser under "More System Details" is mostly WRONG. I am currently using the only browser that works - the outdated Orca Browser v1.2 with a Firefox 3 core. It is FF 31.0 that I am asking help with.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

You must totally remove Firefox. It sounds like part of it's programing
was corrupted. Then '''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer All languages]''' {web link}
After installing, try FF. If your user file are okay, Great!
*1 Download the Full installer and put it somewhere.
*2 Rename your current '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Maintenance Service''' and '''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox'''. Add a '''X''' in front of the name (for example).
*3 Run the disk check '''AGAIN''' just to be sure.
*4 Now get the full installer and run it.
*5 After the installer is done, then try out FF.

Folio Builder - cannot login after changing password

Hi all,
I changed my password at acrobat.com, now I cannot login with the new password from the Folio Builder panel in InDesign CS5.5. I'm on Mac OSX 10.6.8. Basically, the panel shows "Signing in..." and the endlessly spinning wheel, which means it's hanging and doesn't let me re-enter my login credentials.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Folio Builder and Overlay Creator tools, and am running the latest versions of each.I've also tried trashing the INDD preferences. No luck. I'd like to avoid uninstalling/reinstalling InDesign CS5.5, but if that's the only solution, I'll do it.
I did create a new user on my machine and that worked — I was able to login successfully with my new login credentials. But moving my production files and recreating all my settings from my account to this new one would take a while, so I wanted to see if there was another solution.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jason

Hi John,
Yes, I can login successfully there. The problem also appears to be with the CS Review and Access CS Live panels in InDesign.
When I initially open the Folio Builder, I get the error dialog "Sign In had failed. [svr.InvalidLogin]". The CS Review and Access CS Live panels also report an internal error.
This happens in both InDesign CS5 and CS5.5 (both installed on the same computer). Could the CS5.5 and CS5 panels be sharing that info? I haven't uninstalled/reinstalled the panels from CS5, just from CS5.5, which might explain the error, if I need to also uninstall the CS5 panels/extensions.
Thanks,
Jason

10.7.2 clean install, cannot install iPhoto 9.2

So 3 days ago I bought a new MBA 13" base model and after 24 hours of attempts, I couldn't get iPhoto to update to 9.2. So after 2 days (additional) of trying the Lion Recovery thing (didn't work), I went to my Late 2011 Mac mini to the App store and force downloaded a fresh, up-to-date, copy ot Lion. Copied this to a USB drive, erased the MBA internal disk, Fresh Clean Install of Lion (15 minutes btw). Lion boots fine, asked me to sign into iCloud and told me that to turn on photostream that I needed to download iPhoto. Went to the App store, logged in, went to Purchased, downloaded iPhoto 9.2. The download went through almost the entire way and then, "An Error Occurred" appears in place of the download progress bar in the Purchased tab. A few moments later my screen goes Gray and 3/4 of the way down in the center I get the Spinning Bar. Now it's stuck there, spinning (for atleast the last half hour).

What version do you have now?
Upgrading from iPhoto 09 or earlier requires a purchase.

Need Instructions For Clean Install Of Drivers After Refor

Hi, I will be reformatting my hard dri've and doing a clean install of Windows XP Pro SP . I have the CD for upgrading to SP2. I am not a novice with regard to reformatting and reinstalling drivers. However, my Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro was purchased only a few months ago and installed after uninstalling an NVidia Geforce card. Would I install the OS (and all patches) prior to installing the video and then audio drivers? Previously I have installed the OS, video, audio, modem, and then all of the upgrades from Windows Update. I have been all over the Knowledge Base and have downloaded the upgrades (drivers and applications) for my Soundblaster sound card. I also read in here to use the original CD and then update the drivers and software applications. I am getting more confused as I go. I apologize for the long post. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

TechSavvyFreddy,
Here is what I would do:
) Install OS and completely update it first and foremost
2) Install latest chipset drivers and software for motherboard
3) Install Video and Update completely
4) Install the Sound Card from CD then Update completely
5) Install other components.
That is the best way to assure you get the system set up properly and have all the software installed.

Have to do a clean install of ea2700 after power goes out.

This is about to cause me to buy another router. This will be the 4th clean install that I have had to do. If my power, or my internet goes down, a regular proper reboot / or reset, will not get my ea2700 back online. It takes uninstalling & deletion of the stored Application Data files.

Okay, I have just reinstalled & it is working fine. Oddly, I did not get a request to update the firmware this time, like I have before. I did select the last time, that I did not want to be using the cloud & apps. Maybe this is why? Although, on previous installs, it has asked every time & I selected the same answer each time.
Here's some of the info from the Cisco Connect Router details:
Model name: Linksys EA2700
Model number: EA2700
Firmware version: 1.0.14.129982
Operating system: Windows XP SP 3
Software version: 1.4.12051.0
Connection type (WAN): DHCP
Suggestions?

No login after sleep, system just starts!

Well, how's this for security? My system is configured to require a password after sleep, but when the computer wakes, it simply wakes up, no password required.
Ideas? I can't think of how to fix this one.

Find the file "com.apple.security.plist" in your username/Library/Preferences folder. Trash it and restart. Go back to the Security pane of System Preferences, and recheck the box.

After installing Yosemite, cannot login after wake from sleep mode

After upgrading to Yosemite this morning, I've had the problem that after the computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot log back in to use the computer because I can't enter my user password. The screen looks fine after I press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse (I see the users and where I would type my password), but mouse clicks do not allow me to activate the password box (however, I do see the mouse pointer and can move it), and any buttons pressed on the keyboard have no effect. If I shut the computer down, I can login without problem. Any thoughts on how to resolve this? I'd hate to have to turn the computer off every time I step away for 10 minutes...
